Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities have been reported in CA ERwin Web Portal. The vulnerabilities are due to lack of authentication and insufficient input validation in the FileAccessServiceProvider and ProfileIconServlet servlets when processing HTTP requests. By sending crafted HTTP requests to the target system, a remote unauthenticated attacker can leverage these vulnerabilities to view the contents of arbitrary files on the target system or to delete arbitrary files recursively on the target system.
